Words for the Day: Deb@uch
Debouch
transitive verb: to cause to emerge; discharge
intransitive verb: 1. to march into open ground "troops debouching from town";
2. emerge, issue "rivers debouching into the sea"
Not to be confused with...
Debauch
1. (archaic) to make disloyal; to seduce from chastity
2. to lead away from virtue or excellence; to corrupt by intemperance or sensuality
Note: now my brain wants to create a pun. A complex, dirty pun that will make no sense to anyone but someone who has read these exact definitions. There's something about "cause to emerge, discharge".... Alas, the heart is willing, but the brain is lethargic (and the rest of me is grateful that I checked the spelling that one time, or this would have been so wrong).
